Estimated Price: £50,000 - £60,000

One of the few 'star' cars of the 20th century, the DeLorean DMC-12 was the brainchild of ex-General Motors executive, John DeLorean, who became one of the most controversial motor industry figures of all time
Our vendor has been this example's sole owner since importing the DeLorean into the UK after an exhaustive search to find this exact specification.
Purchased from DeLorean Midwest, Crystal Lake, Illinois at a recorded mileage of 38,310, it's supplied with previous US titles and a purchase invoice
On arrival in the UK in 2023, it was sent to the renowned marque specialists P.J.Grady in Essex for a full restoration
As you might expect from a P.J.Grady restoration the result is impressive and the engine bay is particularly special
It also features the black leather interior preferable over the grey leather to contrast with the stainless steel bodywork.
The odometer still only reads 38,482 miles and the current MOT is valid until October 2026
The car offered lusty performance from the 2.9-litre V6 on our photoshoot and as always with these distinctive cars, drew an affectionate crowd
